Chapter 9: Frying Squirrels
0o0o0 I woke up in the morning.
No, was woken up.
No, was pounced on.
No, was brutally attacked by a giant, ninety-pound, teal-furred squirrel.
Should have hit it with the car while I had a chance.
"Miiikuuooooo!" she bellowed before attacking me. Do squirrels bellow? I guess they do now.
I opened my eyes into slits and glared at her. "Miku," I rasped, "Get your tiny, pointy squirrel-parts off of me before I stick my tongue INTO YOUR EAR."
"Mikuo, that sounds dirty and unpleasant. Are you sure you'd want to put your tongue through such trauma?" I heard Yu yawn next to me. "On a more important note, are you taking a shower first or shall I?"
"Knock yourself out," I answered, trying to push Miku off of me, but her rodent claws had latched on to my arms. I started sticking my tongue out at Miku's face to scare her off. She continued to resist.
"Um, what are you guys doing?" I heard an unfamiliar voice sound. Oh. It must have been Neru's.
Miku still didn't move. This girl has no shame.
"Miku, let go of your brother," Neru deadpanned. "You'll catch diseases."
"Bad diseases, Miku. Very bad," I elaborated. I guess that prompted her to get off of me, that or she was just being a teenager and she HAD to have the approval of her friends or whatever. I don't care. As long as I got to breathe.
Damn, this morning was boring. And the car ride. Can I just skip to the beach? Oh, wait. Important stuff happened in the car. Kind of. If you count character back-story as important.
So Rin still stayed in my car after all of the incidents of the night before. And we left at like… eight in the morning. Something like that. It was way too early. Anyway, it was a couple hours after we crossed the border to Florida that Miki started talking. Well, she was talking the whole time, but at this moment she started speaking to everyone.
"Okay, I didn't want to break into these until after we got there, but I am STARVING. Who else wants some rice crackers?" Miki announced.
"Wait, didn't want to break into them? What makes these rice crackers so special?" I returned.
"They're the ones I brought back from Japan, so ya know, they actually taste good. Japan knows its rice crackers."
"When were you in Japan?"
"Didn't anybody tell you where I was living before I came back here? I was over there for, like, seven years."
"Say something offensive in Japanese."
"Okay, um… おおかまじゃない?"*
"What?"
"ばかです."**
"Okay, you can stop now."
"ふふふふふ."***
"Luki, make your girlfriend shut up."
"Well, I would," he started, "but I can't exactly make out with her from the front seat. Unless Rin and I switched places, which would be very dangerous in a topless vehicle."
"Mikuo! Beach!" Rin yelled out of the blue, pointing diagonally. Beach? Yes! Finally reaching the coastline. Cliffs and water were so much more fun to drive next to than, well, trees. Especially in this car. Smelled amazing.
"We should have a picnic," I suggested, "on one of those overhangs next to the water."
"Yes!" Miki agreed loudly. "Let's park illegally and DO IT. I'll text Luka."
Soooo we did. Park illegally and have a picnic out of Miki's rice crackers, potato sticks covered in foreign substances, and various other snack foods that you couldn't get in America, or at least where I lived… stupid rednecks.
"Miki, please don't tell me whatever the fuck this is because it tastes delicious," Yu remarked.
"Oh that? It's just a rice cracker flavored like fermented bean snot," Miki replied cheerfully.
"Nope, not hungry anymore," Yu said.
"So, Luka," I began. "Had any luck with the plotcase yet?"
"Plotcase? What's a plotcase?" Yu asked. Why Yu have so many questions?
"I'll tell you in the car. And, no, I haven't had any luck with it. But I'm pretty sure some dumbass just switched the numbers. I brought the case, so we can try at the beach house," Luka answered.
"I can't believe you brought that thing," I commented. "But whatever. Maybe we can open it and the mystery of its contents won't bother me anymore."
"That sounds like a good excuse to get on the road to me," Luki sang, standing.
"You just want to make out with our girlfriend in the back," Rin retorted playfully.
"Ooh! I've graduated from girl toy to not girlfriend and all the way to regular girlfriend all in the course of two days!" Miki celebrated.
"Congratulations, Miki. You win the prize. Now take your weird food and get your ass in Luki's lap in the back," I directed monotonously.
"But… I thought you said no sex in Luki's car," she pondered.
"Fuck yes I did! I never gave you two permission to elope back there. Such perverts…" I uttered.
So we packed everything, well Miki did since she was the only one that had things to pack, and crossed the dangerous road back to my beautiful—I mean Luki's *cough*—beautiful car.
"Rin, you are now the new, official cell phone carrier. Isn't that lovely?" I mused, pulling my phone from my pocket and handing it to her.
"Wow, what a great perk to sitting in the front!" Rin rejoiced sarcastically. "You don't have, like, crotch germs on this thing do you?"
"Of course I do!" I exclaimed, pulling back out onto the road. "Though, if I were you, I'd be more afraid of Luki's pants germs that of mine. You might catch his vegetarian agnosticism."
"I didn't know that was contagious," Rin marveled.
"Damn, these hormones are killing me. So. Effing. Horny," Miki complained. Haha. Whoremones.
"I know that feel, bro," I agreed.
"I know, right?" Rin murmured.
"No, Rin," Luki said. "You're not supposed to say that in front of Mikuo. He'll hold that against you later."
"Tch. Mikuo doesn't scare me."
I casted a sidelong glance at her and smirked. "I should," I growled.
Funny how she didn't say anything after that.
"… Mikuo, you're scaring my sister's friends again."
0o0o0
No idea how much time passed, but it was, like, four when we got into Miami and traffic postponed us another half hour. BUT WE MADE IT. WE MADE IT TO THE MOTHERFUCKING BEACH.
Took long enough.
Okay, description time. About two miles of beach was private to the Megurine condominium district and there were only, oh, twenty condos total or something so it totally wasn't crowded. Plus, the one we were staying at was the family's private one, so it was huger with a larger space around it. The beach itself supposedly had a coral reef around it a couple hundred yards out, so the waves weren't too big. Sucks for surfing, but I was sure I'd find another place for that eventually, plus, swimming in rough ocean sucked ass. I also noticed some sexy tide pools and rock formations scattered about. You know what that means, right? Oh, yes. Nighttime hide and seek at the beach. Let's see how many arms we can break in two weeks.
Took forever to get everything into the frekking house. Miki and her bags. Seriously. And yet, somehow, Rin, a girl, managed to pack lightest of us all, fitting everything into one bag and a purse. Those stereotypes about women packing—I no longer believe them. And she just shrugged it off, claiming she could buy anything she didn't have… genius. I needed to jack money off of Luki.
Back to my mad description skillz. Aight. Inside. Oh, where the hell do I start? Well, you walk in, and there's a huge living room with cream-colored carpet and a really, I dunno, modern feel to it and everything. The furniture was all somewhat geometric in shape and the walls were light blue. Behind the living room was a huge window facing the beach and beside it was a chrome finished staircase, going to a second floor. To the right of that was a kitchen-y area, including some bar thing that still had alcohol attached to it. Whoops. That's irresponsible. And… um… I think there was a bathroom down there somewhere. That covers the first floor.
There were four bedrooms and bathrooms on each of the second and third floors. Everything had a view of the ocean and all bathrooms were located strategically between each room. Thank jesumus. I did not wish to hear Luki have fun with his "official" girlfriend. How did they become an item, anyway, after however many years Miki was gone? Whoa. Sidetracked again. Where was I? Oh yeah, rooms. Each room was different in size and theme, and I'd go through and describe each one, but that sounds so boring that I'd want to shoot myself and that would seriously reduce viewers, so I'll just list who got where. Second floor was Miku, Neru, Rin, and Yu, residing in respective order, and the third floor held Luki, Miki, Luka, and me. My room was the coolest. Just saying. Oh yeah. And I think there was some maid/butler station and laundry room on the second floor. And then a whole bunch of other random rooms that I didn't know what went to. WTF that sentence is weird.
Holy crap that's a long paragraph.
Oh yeah, there was a pool, too. Right outside the giant window on the first floor. Because, you know, there's not enough water to swim in IN THE OCEAN.
It was, like, five by the time everyone got settled in and all. And that Japanese snack food had long since worn off.
"What are we doing for dinner?" I asked.
"Maybe there's food in the plotcase," Miki suggested.
"Miki, that is a dumb idea," I spat.
"Yeah, I know… Let's try anyway!" she yelled, pulling four cards out from her cleavage—what?
"What are those…?"
"Oh, I jacked the number cards from you guys before you left."
"Miki, mine was in my back pocket…"
Miki stared at me, total poker face. "You remember what I said about your ass that one time?"
I nodded slowly.
"It's true."
"I'm lost. What did Miki say about his ass?" Yu inquired.
"Everything," Rin answered mellowly.
"How very descriptive."
"Luka! Fetch the plotcase!" Miki demanded.
"It's already here," Luka sighed, pulling the black case out from behind the couch she sat on.
Miki snatched the case away excitedly and started checking numbers. "Oooooh," she remarked. "Some dumbass switched the fifth and sixth numbers. Probably Mikuo."
"Hey! It could have just as easily been Luki," I insisted.
"Sure, whatevz. Ready to open this thing? I am!" she yelled, not bothering to wait for a response. She flung the case open, the stared at the contents as if they were given to her by some sort of wizard.
"So…" I heard Yu say.
"So… Much… paper," she whispered.
Rin forced herself forward and sat next to Miki. "Luki P.O.V., Miku P.O.V., Neru P.O.V.," she read. "What the hell?"
"Is there food in there?" I pushed, not actually expecting anything.
"Of course there's not food in here!" she snapped.
"All there is is—"She stopped dead and pulled out a plastic orange package, then handed it to me with a blank expression.
It was instant ramen with a sticky note on it that said "for Mikuo."
"Hell yeah," I hollered.
"How did it…" Rin trailed off and I left to boil some water in the microwave. I'm a fucking boss when it comes to microwaves.
In five minutes, I returned with a very hot bowl of instant-ramen and found that papers had been scattered all around. People were staring at them like Jesus came down and typed them just for their precious little eyes to see. Luki shoved one titled "Mikuo's P.O.V." at me and I set my bowl down on a table next to the smallest couch.
What the hell was this thing…? I skimmed through the pages and found everything that I had experienced since the day I met Rin and Luka in Atlanta, all written in intriguing first person point of view. In fact, the words seemed familiar. My god, that's because they were! They were the words of this very story! Then, it got to a point that hadn't been written yet and all the words were blacked out. Well, there were a few articles and conjunctions visible, kind of like classified documents.
"Rin…" I started. "What… the fuck… did you land on when you broke the fourth wall?"
She just stared at me.
"This stuff is dangerous to have around," Miki observed. "But, at the same time, I don't want to get rid of it."
"Yeah," I agreed. "Is there anything else in there?"
"Um…" Rin muttered, digging a bit, then spoke up, "There's one other stack that says 'Third Person P.O.V.'. And then there's some flashlights labeled 'hide and seek'."
"Hide and seek? Aren't you guys a little… old to play that?" Neru commented.
Luki slammed down whatever he was holding and stalked up to Neru, standing over her and glowering down at her evilly. "You will be eating your words when you are hiding for your motherfucking life," he hissed.
Neru shrank down. "O-okay," she stammered.
"What were we doing, again?" Miku said, appearing to have just snapped herself out of a daze.
"You guys were going to scrounge for food while I watch you with my magic plot ramen," I explained. "And then we were going to play hide and seek in the dark on the beach."
Everyone else found food and joined me at the breakfast bar to eat. By the time everyone else finished, it was about six thirty or something so the sun would be down soon.
"Someone get the flashlights. Let's all gather outside to discuss the limits," Luka directed. She's such a leader like that. Yu was back shortly with an armful of flashlights. "Okay, so. Here're the rules. Two people will let the other six hide for five minutes. They then have fifteen minutes to find at least one person to take their place for the next round. Both people that are 'it' have to find their own replacement, which means someone can be 'it' twice in a row. The searchers can work together or go separate, whatever works best for them. To those hiding, use your flashlight at your own risk. The boundaries are from the edge of those rocks over there—" she gestured far out to the left "—to the tide pools over there—" she gestured far out to the right. There was a good 300 yards of space to work with, which was why the time limit was so long. In fact, fifteen minutes almost didn't seem long enough. "Okay, also, no going into the water or you will be raped by various sea creatures and species of dolphins. You can bury yourself, but don't suffocate, and don't complain about ribs. And please no sex. *cough Luki cough* There are children present."
Jk, gaiz. This is a much longer paragraph.
"Not it!" Miki yelled. As did everyone else, except Luki and me.
"Haha. You guys are all fucked," Luki said. That's what he did last time, too… Except this time it was twice as true. Probably.
"What are you waiting for! Five minutes!" I called. The comment was followed by a flurry of cursing and running.
"So. What do you want to do for five minutes?" Luki asked me.
"I dunno… hey, wanna look at the plotcase?"
"Oh, you sly thing," he mused. "That's totally immoral and unfair. Let's do it."
He set his watch to go off in five minutes and we walked into the living room to start sifting through papers. "I bet you want Miki's right?" I asked, holding up her stack.
"Yup. How'd you know?" he kidded. "And I bet you want Rin's" He traded with me. "Karma's gonna bite us in the ass for doing this."
"Hell yes it is. Now shut up."
Let's see. What has little Rinny been thinking over the course of this past week…
So there I am, minding my own business, chatting up all the other choir nerds around when Luka starts acting sick. Now I, being the wonderful friend and decent human being that I am, start to attempt to console my poor, sickened friend by taking her back to her room. So we leave the restaurant and, low and behold, who do I see but the infamous Luki Megurine and his friend. I guessed his name was Mikuo, no idea on the last name, though. But damn, I didn't know jeans and a t-shirt could look this hot until this guy stepped in front of me. He shot me a smirk, looking directly at me and turned to follow Luki outside. I tried to keep focused on the important things, like where the hell our luggage was, but this guy is walking right there in front of me. Oh, he had a nice ass, too. You don't see this kind of figure on every teenage guy out there. Wow. That's sexy.
I started laughing out loud.
"What? What's so funny?" Luki said.
"The fact that every female I meet thinks about my ass," I replied.
"Oh… Yeah, Miki mentioned it a couple times in here."
"Figures. How much time do we have left?"
"Two minutes."
"Perfect." Just enough time to read one more thing.
He kissed me… He kissed me… MTHFKN BASTARD KISSED ME. Then tried to walk away, of all things! He's so… in his own world! Only does as he pleases. And he's so stubborn! He can get whatever he wants, and it's all because of that… energy. It's like I wanted him to do just whatever and get away with it…!
Gah! Why did I find that so HOT! Goddammit, he's getting into my head again. Okay, Rin. You need to relax. You know what they say; if you can't beat them, join them. Besides, I like games, right?
"Ooh. Kinky," I remarked."
"What is?"
"Rin is a little… sadistic on the inside."
"She's a little sadistic on the outside, man."
"Point taken."
"We have twelve seconds left. Let's go."
We ran outside and the first person we saw, standing in the middle of the beach, facing into the sunset, was Miki. We jogged up to her at the same time, probably thinking the same thing.
"Miki, what the fuck are you doing?" Luki sighed. Well what do you know? We were.
She huffed. "Damn it. I was hiding in plain sight, hoping my hair would blend into the sky."
"Well, now you're replacing me in the next round," I claimed, "and helping me find more minions to search in my stead. You have fourteen minutes, and it looks like by then the sun will be down."
"I'm on it!" Miki shouted, saluting me before running off to the right.
"You wanna just…" I never finished. He knew what I was going to say.
"Wait until she comes back with people? Yup. This game is boring with sunlight."
"Don't worry, o nocturnal one; your nighttime sky will be with us shortly," I teased.
And. Sure enough, fourteen minutes later, it was dark. Everyone gathered back in the middle of the beach with flashlights on hand. Like, literally. They had these convenient little wrist straps so you didn't have to hold on to them all the time. Nothing worse than trying to keep up with a flashlight, ya know.
"Well, considering most of us didn't get caught, I assume Luki wasn't actually trying," Luka observed. Luki nodded and smiled. "Probably waiting for the dark or whatever… So it's Luki and Miki searching now?"
"Indeed it is," Luki stated.
"Alright! So we might have a chance since they'll just be making out the whole time!" Miku cheered.
"Nah. What did you think the five minutes at the beginning was for? Hiding? Huh. You know, you can get a lot done in five minutes," Luki said, creeping out my sister. She inched away from him.
"Luki, must you scare all of the children in one night?" Rin chided.
"Um, duh. Is that a trick question? Now, you should scurry along. Your five minutes is about to start," Luki said, turning and starting a stroll toward the house, one arm around Miki's shoulders.
I darted toward the right. Since I'm such a strategic hide and seek player, I decided to take the short time I had to scout the area. There were all kinds of places around the tide pools that would be amazing to shelter in, that is, if I were small and aquatic. But I was sure Luki knew about this, so he'd be more likely to start out with the left side of the beach, and time was what I needed here.
Damn, I am way too serious about this shit.
Farther away from the water, there were more places that had actual oxygen to take cover in, so that was good. I could probably dive from rock to rock in a chase…. Nah, not enough energy for that, but the initial intention made me feel better about myself.
Crap. I saw lights come from the house. Five minutes was up. I crouched down and turned off my light before Luki could spot me and began scrounging for lower ground.
I found Rin instead.
"Ow," she complained when I rammed into her side. I immediately put my hand over her mouth.
"Shh," I whispered. "He's coming."
Her eyes widened and she pulled my hand away. "Already?" she mouthed.
I nodded in reply.
"We… we need to do something. Let's dig down," she said softly.
I peered over the rock and saw the light facing opposite us.
"Sure. Why not?" I huffed. We found a crevice that would work well as a wall. "Hurry."
We miraculously managed to dig a decent hole in about five minutes. So here we are, hiding like cockroaches in a hole in the beach. Tch. We're cool. Oh yah; and Rin was sitting on me.
"Rin, you're on my crotch," I mentioned.
"Well, Mikuo, it's not like there's some other place I can sit on inside this hole," she returned.
"Hey, I'm just warning you. Don't do anything reckless. Or sexy. Or sexy and reckless. Oh!" I grabbed her mouth again. "I heard something."
"You sure it wasn't, oh I don't know, another person hiding," Rin snapped through my hand.
"Shh!"
Aight, I know I was supposed to be listening for footsteps, but Rin was kind of sitting in my lap, and when you're a teenage boy you can't just ignore that. I mean, I could feel everything. Her back was pressed up against my abdomen and the hand that I didn't have on her mouth was around her waist. Oh yeah, and her ass WAS STILL ON MY FUCKING CROTCH. But she was so, just, tiny. Like, you could fit two of her in me and I'm not a large guy. More like one step away from Luki's fucking anorexia. Jkjk but really.
"Mikuo, stop humming," Rin said.
I snapped my attention back to not Rin's body (to my disappointment). "I was humming? Sorry, I do that sometimes. What song?"
"I think it was a Katy Perry song, but I'm bad with titles.
"Huh. Katy Perry. That's a new one," I mumbled. "Goddammit, Rin, can you turn around or something? You nice ass is killing me."
Rin started to turn, but paused halfway. "Wait, you think I have a nice ass?"
"Rin, the world thinks you have a nice ass. Just imagine, if we had children, their asses would be so nice, they'd need to have plastic surgery to make them less nice."
"You know, I was totally going to say something like that, but I held it back because most guys freak out when I say the word 'children'."
"I desensitized myself to it a while ago. Took away from my humor."
Thankfully, Rin remembered to turn around the rest of the way and my crotch was saved.
"We're going to need a bigger hole next time," I commented.
"Next time… You mean I have to do this again?" Rin fretted.
"What, you don't like me?"
"Ah, no, it's just…"
"Just what?" I asked, leaning in on her.
"Just…?"
"Do I drive you crazy? Is that what it is?" Seemslegityo.
"Well, I wouldn't call it that, per say, but—"
"But what?
She didn't say anything back so I moved even closer, bringing her face in to me and parting my lips right over hers then stopping. I stayed there for a moment before smiling and settling back on my side of the hole. The look on her face? Priceless. Mouth slightly open, eyes hazy, but just for a moment before she realized what happened and got irritated.
"Wh-what the—"
"A hole in the dirt? Really, Rin? It's not very romantic. Plus, I still smell like ramen. You need to catch me at a better time, like after I chew some gum or something." I winked at her before jumping up. "It's been fifteen minutes. He didn't find us."
0o0o0
A couple rounds later, everyone decided they were cold and wet and tired so we went back. Luka, Neru, and Miku all went to sleep, so it was slowing down to a peaceful, quiet evening for the rest of us.
I was helping Miki pick up papers to put back in the plotcase.
"So, whose did you read?" Miki began. "I mean, come on, we all did it. I'll tell you which ones I read."
"Rin's," I admitted, low enough so she wouldn't hear me.
"Heh, figures," Miki noted. "I read yours and Yuuma's."
"Mine? Why'd you read mine?"
"To get to know you better. And to understand a day in the life of someone with an ass as nice as yours."
"You really can't get over that, can you?"
"One mustn't ignore beauty!"
I left after that. I walked over to the kitchen, where all other wakeful teenagers had migrated, and I found Luki sifting through things at that drink station place in the corner of the room.
"Luki, what the hell are you doing?" I asked accusingly.
"Looking for the freaking ice. It should not be this hard to find," he criticized. I looked to my right and saw Yu and Rin watching intently.
"Did you maybe think to try, I don't know, THE FREEZER?"
"Oh, of course!" he exclaimed, crouching behind the bar.
I turned to Yu. "What the hell is he doing?"
"I don't know. He said something about mixing drinks under his breath," Yu explained.
"The hell? How the fuck do you know how to mix drinks, Luki?"
"A maid taught me over spring break. Shh. It's a secret," Luki said.
"There is so much illegal attached to that statement. Why didn't you invite me!" I nagged.
"I didn't want the poor girl to get fired. So, what do you want?"
"Something that doesn't taste disgusting."
"Very descriptive. Anyone else?"
"I've always wondered what Sex on the Beach tastes like…" Rin pondered.
"Well have you ever had sex on the beach? Cuz if not, you'll have to try it, for comparison, you know," I pushed.
"A-a-ah of course not!" Rin stuttered. "Doesn't that sound a-a little slutty?"
Yu kind of tried to look away from both of us, which was difficult for him considering he was sitting in the middle. Hm. Interesting reaction… Was that… Was he blushing? Oh my god. No way. No way. OH, Rin was going to hear about this later.
"I should really think more about my choice of words when I'm around Mikuo," Rin murmured to herself.
Yes, Rin. Yes you should.
Everything Luki made ended up being virgin since he figured his father knew exactly how much of what was in each bottle and nobody wanted to face the wrath of Luki's father. (Lol. Virgin Sex on the Beach. That's inappropriate on a whole new level. Damn I'm a pervert.)
What time is it?" Yu asked.
I pulled my cell phone from my pocket. "Only eleven" I yawned. "Why am I tired at eleven?"
"I don't know," Luki sighed. "Probably 'cause of how early we got up. I'm going to bed."
"Sleep. I like that idea. Let's do that," I agreed. "Night, peoples."
I bounded up the stairs and into my awesome room. It was nice because it was in the top corner of the condo, so it had two walls composed mostly of windows and everything was light and pleasant and all that crap. The bed was in the right corner of the room. It was plain white, but there was this square texture on the comforter that made it less boring n shit. Then there was a giant flatscreen on the left wall and one of those window bench things on the far wall. FREAKING LOVE THOSE. I don't know why but I just do. Makes for the perfect spot to chill and surf the internet.
Which reminds me—I should plug in my laptop.
And get comfortable. Gahd I hate clothes. I stripped off my shirt and pulled on some sweatpants to sleep in before finding my computer.
So while I was digging around for my charger, there was a knock at the door. "Ahm, it's open," I called at whoever was out there.
Rin stepped in wearing shorts and a tank top.
"Oh, hello there, Rin's legs. What brings you up here?" In reply, she threw something at my head. "Ow," I griped. "Ooh, gum." That's what she threw at me: a box of gum.
"I found it in my suitcase while I was looking for clothes," She said, stepping forward and closing the door halfway with her foot. "It made me think of you."
I stuck a piece in my mouth and smirked at her. "Are you trying to tell me something, Rin?"
"Maybe," she eluded, stepping past me to sit on my bed.
"So what was that back there?"
"What was what back where?"
"Oh, come on. I saw the look on Yu's face when I was giving you a hard time earlier."
"I don't know what you're talking about," Rin insisted.
I found my charger and plugged in the laptop before going to sit next to her. "You never told me why you two broke up," I said.
"It was a long time ago."
"So? I'm curious. Who broke up with who?"
"We just decided it would be better if we were just friends."
"Sounds more like he broke it off."
"Okay, maybe it was his decision alone."
"Why?"
"I don't like talking about it."
"What, did the jerk sleep with you and then leave or something?"
She gave me a hard stare.
"Oh…" I glanced away from her. "Well that explains things. Damn, that's harsh. How'd you deal?"
"I still am," she puffed."Le friendzone helps."
"Until Luka started giving you hell about it."
"Exactly. You're good at this."
"I know, right? It's sickening." There was a 9-second silence, long enough to let her think but just under the point of awkward. "But really, why are you here?"
"Huh?" Rin must have gotten distracted. "Oh, um, I came to throw gum at you. Mission accomplished."
"Then why are you still here?"
"Why did you kiss me last night?"
Oh, that. Kind of caught me off guard. To be honest. "I just wanted to see what would happen. I'm kind of impulsive like that, you know. I have the tattoo to prove it."
"Did that ever heal?"
"Oh, yeah. It looks awesome. Wanna see?"
"No; stop distracting me. Saying 'because I can' is not a real answer."
"Okay. So you want me to give you reason for why I kissed you yesterday."
Rin nodded patiently, folding her arms across her chest.
"Let's see. I think I wanted to see your reaction."
"If you just wanted an amusing reaction, you'd be kissing Luka."
"Ooh, good point. We're playing hard ball, I see." I leaned back on my elbows. "Maybe I… wanted to see why my reaction would be."
"Now we're getting somewhere."
"Yeah. And I think I finally know what it is," I deliberated. "Hey Rin, wanna make out?"
"W-what?"
"You heard me."
"B-but I—"
"Need some gum? I just so happen to have a piece lying around her somewhere." I sat myself up and leaned in on Rin, hooking her back toward me. I kissed her before she got the chance to think, but only long enough so I could give her gum back.
Rin looked up at me with that "are you fucking kidding me" face on. "You sucked all the flavor out, asshole," she hissed.
I gave her a large smile. "I try." I stood and walked toward the door.
"Whoa, where do you think you're going?" Rin shot.
"I'm closing the door, genius. There are people sleeping."
"Oh, well if that's all," Rin said, spitting the gum out into an adjacent trash can. "Come back over here and do that thing again."
"Gladly." I walked back to her and kissed her again before forcing her onto her back, climbing on top of her as a devilish smirk crossed my face. I brushed the hair from her cheeks and took a moment to admire the lust in her eyes.
"You work fast," she observed. Huh. You don't even know.
"Five minutes and I'm kicking you out," I replied, kissing her slowly.
"Why so short?" she panted, obviously repressing a sound as I grazed my lips down her neck..
I chuckled a bit. "Because I wasn't lying when I said I was tired, and my judgment is severely impaired when I'm tired. We wouldn't want me manipulating you into something that you may not want to do," I murmured into her ear as I trailed my fingers down her arm.
"… That was the sexiest rejection anyone has ever given me."

5700 words, people. I really hope you don't start expecting long chapters from me, now, though. This is very uncharacteristic of me. ~ Dang, I need to reteach myself how to write makeout scenes. This feels so… urgh.

** Idiot.
***fufufufufu.
And that would be the extent of my Japanese knowledge. Jkjk but really.
